- How do I choose the correct clipon kit for my bike?
The ApexMfg standard clip-on kit is for sport or race ergonomics. The GP clip-on kit is for aggressive race ergonomics and riders that are below 5’8” in height. The 3” and 4” riser clip-ons are for sport, sport touring, cruising ergonomics (these can also be lowered on most bikes for sport ergonomics if your bike serves a dual purpose).
- How do I know what size to order?
- The most effective way to order is to measure in millimeters the fork tube diameter just below the top triple clamp.
- My fork tubes are tapered just below the top triple, can I still use the ApexMfg product?
- No you cannot install these clamps onto a tapered fork tube.
- I want to order 3” or 4” riser clip-ons but I’m not sure there is clearance for the top triple and riser post.
- The distance from the fork tube using a 50mm clamp to the riser post is 9mm. For a 41mm fork tube to riser post it is 13mm.
- How much height will I get from the 3” or 4” riser kit compared to my stock setup?
- The center height of the ApexMfg bar located at 0* from the top of a riser clamp is 54mm using a 3” riser post and 80mm using a 4” riser post. If you locate your bar at any of the other angles between - 9* and +9* the bar will then be lower or higher at the far end of the bar in relationship to the bar at the riser post.
- I’m concerned about fairing clearance using an aftermarket clip-on kit.
- Using the 3” or 4” riser kits will potentially interfere with stock or race fairings so limited adjustments from stock can only be achieved. If you’re willing to trim your body work you can achieve greater adjustments.
- Do I need to change brake lines, wiring or cables?
- Typically the stock brake lines, wiring, and cables can be used. These may need to be rerouted so there is no binding or pinching.
